(I never understood why -ics is not implied by -icshost, or, alternatively, why -icshost does not have a default URL, but that is how it always has been. You have to give -ics to get XBoard in ICS mode, and then specify the ISC as well. Recommended is to get a timeseal somewhere and install it, and then also add -icshelper timeseal, to not have the network lag count against you.)

I have not studied C/C++ very deeply yet, but to get me on the right foot I need a good C++ guide (I haven`t got one in my hands yet!). It is worth mention though that I need to understand the Standard Library first.

First, C++ has some advantages compared to C.

1) Any time the computer can handle checking something instead of relying on the irrational mind it`s good. For example creating types that protect invariants and doing so in an automated way. In C++ the compiler can enforce this.
